The cover depicts an imaginary archive gallery, not the actual museum, exhibition or a route to it. Created with Grok. If you are visiting Odaesan near Pyeongchang, separate the exhibition's end date from the museum's seasonal closing time. The October 8, 2026 official release schedules 그날, 화성의 군례: 빛으로 되살아난 왕의 군대—roughly, “That Day, Hwaseong's Military Ceremony: The King's Army Brought to Light”—in the second-floor special exhibition gallery of the National Museum of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty from October 8 to December 13, 2026. The English rendering here is descriptive, not asserted as an official English exhibition title.
Royal records and a modern moving-image interpretation
Wonhaeng Eulmyo Jeongni Uigwe records King Jeongjo's 1795 Hwaseong visit, including military practice at Seojangdae and archery at Deukjungjeong. Hwaseong Seongyeok Uigwe documents construction of the fortress. The film 실감의궤 군례: 군사시열, produced by the Korea Heritage Agency under the Korea Heritage Service, reconstructs a procession and drills using images from Dyeongni Uigwe. It is a contemporary exhibition film, not historical footage. The royal military ceremony includes formations, review and archery; it should not be reduced to a battle scene.
Created with Grok. These generic books and case are a conceptual image, not documentation of the exhibition's actual objects or display arrangement.
A two-day cultural event is not the exhibition period
The separate 가을愛 실록 autumn event was scheduled for October 9–10. The announced live band performances were October 9 at 13:00 and 15:00; the expanded family education programme had another schedule, October 9–11. None of those dates means the performances or extra education sessions run through December. Ask the museum about actual programme operation and booking.

Created with Grok. The image is not a navigation map. The museum homepage shows a theme-exhibition pop-up, whereas its special-exhibitions list still shows previous exhibitions at the time checked. An unupdated list alone does not establish cancellation. Confirm the exhibition, bookings and any temporary closure before traveling. The shorter Korean Naver guide is available as a separate edition.
